the Vile side
I don't know what I think about the Kobe Bryant accusations (nor, in truth, do any of us at this point, before the facts have been attested to). I do know what I think of the emergent coverage of the story. In that spirit, I recommend this article which buttresses my sense of disgust at so very many angles of this event.
I cannot even begin to imagine what life must now be like for the alleged victim. First she must deal with the trauma associated with the week prior to the 4th of July. Follow that with a situation to which I cannot draw a parallel- a situation which seemingly places one person against the entirety of the nation. Certainly her family and true friends (as opposed to the friends we've seen in the news) are "on her side" as is the local D.A. and numerous support organizations which understand what she is going through. Certainly her circle of support extends beyond this group. We will likely never hear from her supporters. As a nation, we already "know" Kobe Bryant, no need to go digging through his life. Publicly at least (and appropriately given our legal traditions respecting the presumption of innocence) Kobe has not been condemned as a guilty and despicable man. The same cannot be said for the young lady involved. Websites have sprung up, dedicated to trashing her. Major media outlets feel caught between a rock and a hard place- following a legitimate news story while knowingly getting "scooped" on the story (though very little if any of the scooped material is actually relevant and thus truly newsworthy) by unscupulous websites. While resisting the temptation to "out" the alleged victim, they readily note that the information is available on the Internet.* Osama is possibly the only other case with such unidirectional expression of sentiment. Even Saddam had more vocal support in the U.S. And that is disgusting.
* In the political sphere, when someone publishes details of how to poison the water supply, build bombs, or criticizes our preparedness they are attacked for "giving aid and comfort to our enemies." I'm certainly not endorsing this tactic, but how is the news media's handling of the low standards of web publishing any different?

Swot Analysiss
a new, innovative product or service
location of your business
quality processes and procedures
any other aspect of your business that adds value to your product or service.
A weakness could be:
lack of marketing expertise
undifferentiated products or services (i.e. in relation to your competitors) location of your business
poor quality goods or services
damaged reputation
In SWOT, opportunities and threats are external factors. For example: An opportunity could be: a developing market such as the Internet.
mergers, joint ventures or strategic alliances
moving into new market segments that offer improved profits
a new international market
a market vacated by an ineffective competitor
A threat could be:
a new competitor in your home market
price wars with competitors
a competitor has a new, innovative product or service
competitors have superior access to channels of distribution taxation is introduced on your product or service
A word of caution, SWOT analysis can be very subjective. Do not rely on SWOT too much. Two people rarely come-up with the same final version of SWOT. TOWS analysis is extremely similar. It simply looks at the negative factors first in order to turn them into positive factors. So use SWOT as guide and not a prescription.Simple rules for successful SWOT analysis be realistic about the strengths and weaknesses of your organization when conducting SWOT analysis. SWOT analysis should distinguish between where your organization is today, and where it could be in the future SWOT should always be specific. Avoid grey areas.
always apply SWOT in relation to your competition i.e. better than or worse than your competition keep your SWOT short and simple. Avoid complexity and over analysis SWOT is subjective.

The Odessa I just saw was a cold and dreary remnant of an unfulfilled dream of splendor.
Such great Jewish visionaries as Ahad HaAm, Ze'ev Jabotinsky, Joseph Trumpeldor and Chaim Nachman Bialik once walked the streets where the city's many hundreds of homeless children now sleep, and even the once-magnificent building facades crumble as a poignant and prevalent monument to the failed promise of the 20th century.
Yet I also saw the smile of children given new hope by a magnificent program called Tikva Children's Home. I helped a Jewish congregation welcome a Torah scroll into its midst. And even as I said Kaddish for my recent ancestors who never made it out, I sang the new melodies of a flourishing Judaism that promise to usher in a better future.
My journey was part of Shaaray Tefila's five-day fact-finding mission to the Odessa, organized by Tikva, and designed to help us learn more about the children's programs Tikva runs and about Judaism in the Ukraine.
Exhausted and jet-lagged, we were met at the airport by representatives of Tikva who had arranged VIP treatment for us. As VIPs, we bypassed the usual immigration procedures and took a van directly to a waiting lounge. There we surrendered our passports and luggage while officials decided if we could enter the country. Though there was very little that could go really wrong, the feeling of sitting in a room in the Ukraine without any travel papers while Ukrainian officials decided our fate was not an entirely pleasant one.
After perhaps an hour, our passports were returned with immigration visas, and we were on our way. (For reasons that I still do not understand, the visas were not stamped on the usual "entrance/exit visa" pages of our passports, but rather on the last page, the one reserved for amendments by the U.S. Government.)
After less than an hour in a private touring bus, we arrived at the Hotel Londonskaya ("London Hotel") near the Black Sea. Like almost everything else I saw, the hotel was glorious and decrepit at the same time. Uniformed hotel workers whisked our luggage from the bus to the magnificent lobby, while uniformed (and English-speaking) clerks checked us into our rooms, manually writing each of our names onto a registration roster. There was no computer. Neither were there electronic room-access cards. Instead, we each got a room key attached to a large wooden block upon which our room number had been stamped.
My long, narrow room featured a vaulted 20-foot ceiling and exquisite solid-wood furniture manufactured before I was born. In the five-star hotel room, I had a sagging bed, mini bar, and ornate writing table, but no computer outlet. On the other hand, I did have a view of the Black Sea.
From the hotel we took our private bus to an elegant kosher restaurant for a bountiful mid-afternoon snack. Located under the Orthodox synagogue, the restaurant serves kosher food to Jews and non-Jews alike, many of whom come for the reasonably priced gourmet food.
Then we visited two utterly impoverished homes, the first part of our "before and after" experience. Both homes, we were told, used to have Jewish children living in them (one without electricity), until Tikva took the children in. Some of the other children in the Tikva program were literally found on the street.
Most of the children looked happy, but their smiles did not entirely mask the deep sorrow that many of their eyes betrayed.
The girls live four to a room dormitory style. Each room is well decorated with matching brown carpets and blankets for the beds, but even just a roof over their heads would have been an immeasurable step up from the horrid living conditions we had seen just hours earlier.
We joined the children for a simple but healthy and well-balanced meal in a large room that served as the dining room. That was our first chance to talk with them. They all learn English and Hebrew in addition to the local Russian and Ukrainian, but even so, detailed conversation was difficult. On the other hand, we managed to have fun together, an amazing accomplishment considering where the kids came from.
After we distributed gifts, we left as the kids headed off to sleep.
I stepped off our bus into a crowd of perhaps 40 homeless children, all eager to say hi and hopefully to get a dollar or two. They ranged in age from about a year to 20 or so. Most of the kids knew just enough English to beg for money, and most of them knew of New York.
After a few minutes I found myself talking to a young woman. Though she was engaging and entirely presentable, it turned out that she slept on the street. Her parents were dead. Misjudging her age, I asked her why she didn't get a job. She told me that no one would hire a 14-year-old. And she couldn't go to school because she had run away from the State-run orphanage where she was mistreated. (She probably didn't know that the government allocates to the orphanages only twenty cents a day per child.)
I insisted. I told her she had her whole life in front of her and she could do anything she wanted. "How?" this homeless girl wanted to know. "I have no parents, no money, no home, and no chance of any education," she explained reasonably. Then she asked me if I would take her back to New York with me.
But before I could learn any more or even give her a few dollars, we were told to return to the bus immediately. Some of the homeless kids had boarded our bus, and the group leaders were concerned for our safety.
On the way back to our hotel, it occurred to me that this anonymous girl, like everyone else in the homeless group, was not a victim of war or violence. She was a victim of indifference.
Once again, we were treated to a variety of performances. We also had a chance to visit the students in their classes. Many of them could carry on a simple conversation in English or Hebrew, in addition to their native Russian.
All of the schools, which teach secular and religious topics (including Hebrew), are attended by the children in Tikva's children's homes, by many of the children of the teachers and Tikva staff, and by some other local Jewish children. Even though (in large part due to Tikva's programs) all of the students were well dressed and fed, it was frequently easy to identify the ones who slept in the children's homes: they were so starved for attention that they would cling to almost any adult.
During one of my conversations, I explained to a four-year-old that I didn't speak Russian very well because I'm an American. "I'm not," the child responded simply in Russian. "I'm Jewish."
While the playroom in which the conversation took place looks like many other preschools, these children do not go home at the end of the day. They sleep fourteen to a room in the next room over.
Tikva is actively building more space to house the children in a more
spacious setting, but the children seem to keep coming faster than
space can be built for them.
By a curious coincidence, the congregation had rented space in the same building as the Tikva kindergarten (though we didn't know it when we were looking for the place and when we went to the wrong address). In spite of the building the two shared, the two organizations couldn't have been more different. While Tikva was an Orthodox establishment whose ceaseless fund-raising efforts were finally beginning to pay off, Emanu-El, located in the basement, could afford only well-used furniture and plastic chairs. But entering the room was like coming home.
The chief Reform rabbi of Ukraine, Rabbi Alex Dukhovny, had arrived via overnight train from Kiev in honor of the ceremony, and he greeted us, along with the local spiritual leader of the congregation, Julia Grischenko. Perhaps a third of the 60 or so members in attendance that evening were from the youth group, "Netzer Odessa," as their sign on the wall proudly exclaimed.
The ceremony consisted of a brief Ma'ariv service, including a wedding procession for the Torah --- because the Torah was marrying the congregation, Rabbi Dukhovny explained --- a Torah reading, and a chance for representatives of each community to speak. (Read more....)
Rabbi Greenberg spoke on our behalf, telling the group that his grandfather had left Ukraine with nothing in his hands but Torah in his heart. How proud and perhaps astonished would his grandfather be to know that his grandson was physically welcoming Torah back into the lives of Jewish Ukraine.
At the end Rabbi Dukhovny gave us the opportunity to say Kaddish for our many relatives who were from the Ukraine.
The music, liturgy, and style of the service all come from New York. Odessa, originally home to one of the first Reform congregations in the world and formerly one of the great centers of Jewish thought, is reaping the fruits of the seeds it sowed so many years ago. And Odessa is but one of the Ukraine's 30 progressive congregations. Sadly, though, those 30 congregations have to make do each year with about $200,000 among them all, a pittance compared to the many millions that Chabad has at its disposal.
We could hardly tear ourselves away from our new-found Jewish family at Emanu-El, but we had promised the girls at the orphanage that we would return to join them for dinner.
Back at the orphanage we were again confronted with the reality that welcoming Torah is a luxury some Jewish children cannot afford, and that even the success stories were singed with sorrow. One little girl proudly showed us her photo album, including pictures of her mother back in Moscow who didn't want her any more.
Equally, the girls showed us that life goes on. Another girl had used her time at the orphanage to learn to play the piano.
The city seems unable to keep up with modernity. Its famous opera house has been under renovations for years, with no end in sight. From time to time, water and electricity are cut off. Local residents seem to accept both of these as unavoidable parts of their post-Soviet life, a sentiment I recall from my first trip to the Ukraine. Yet along with the problems, the local love of art and culture has survived. Every school we saw had at least one piano; it seems unimaginable to the local leaders to put children in an environment without one.
The city has also lost most of its Jewish flavor. Once 30 percent Jewish, and once home to perhaps more influential builders of the State of Israel than any other city in the world, Odessa's Jewish character doesn't currently go much beyond the remaining Jewish Street downtown. (It's called "Jewish Street.") But our Jewish ideals have not left the city. The street children lucky enough to have been born Jewish have been given a second chance at life.
Long before there was a City of Odessa, the prophet Isaiah called for a time when the "downtrodden and broken-hearted" would find new life. Seemingly against all odds, we have begun realizing Isaiah's prophesy even in the poverty-stricken city of Odessa. Jeremiah, too, would be proud. For he also promised a future of hope, a future of Tikva.
Please help keep their dream alive.
Emanu-El Congregation can be helped directly through the World
Union for Progressive Judaism.

Compatibility of Teaching Strategies and Learning Styles as a Determinant of Academic Success.
Scerba, John R.
The effectiveness of matching learning styles of community college students to similar teaching strategies in English and mathematics courses was investigated in relation to (1) academic success in courses; (2) attitudes toward the instructor and the course; and (3) attrition rate in courses. Five hypotheses were tested: students would have significantly higher grades; students would have significantly higher Florida State Wide Twelfth Grade Test (FTG) scores; teachers would be evaluated more positively; courses would receive higher ratings; and attrition rates would be lower. Major findings indicated no significant first order interaction effects between learning and teaching styles. However, there was a significant second order interaction effect on grades among learning style, teaching style, and course. Other interactions were found between teaching style and subject on teacher and course evaluations; among the course, teacher and course evaluations, and attrition rate; between learning style and FTG scores; and between sex and course grades. Some implications are that students may have an eclectic approach to learning; that teaching style is one factor to consider in interpreting teacher and course evaluations; and that a direct experience teaching style may reduce class attrition.

The Education Trust works for the high academic achievement of all students at all levels, pre-kindergarten through college, and forever closing the achievement gaps that separate low-income students and students of color from other youth. Our basic tenet is this — All children will learn at high levels when they are taught to high levels.
Advocacy to help schools, colleges, and communities mount campaigns to close gaps
Research and policy analysis on patterns and practices that both cause and close gaps
Technical assistance to schools, colleges, and community-based organizations to raise student achievement and close gaps

WINNIPEG, MANITOBA--(Marketwired - Oct. 3, 2016) - National Defence / Canadian Armed Forces
From October 3 to 7, 17 Wing Winnipeg's 435 "Chinthe" Transport and Rescue Squadron will conduct its annual search and rescue (SAR) training exercise (called CHINTHEX), within the vicinity of Lethbridge, Alta.
SAR squadrons with the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) are responsible for maintaining a capability to conduct a major search away from their home locations. A major search would be initiated if preliminary search efforts for a missing aircraft, vessel or person in distress were unsuccessful. To maintain their proficiencies and be ready for a major SAR event, SAR crews conduct regular training, like CHINTHEX.
The specific scenarios involved in this exercise are designed to be as realistic as possible enabling personnel to practice for missions they may encounter when responding to an actual SAR call. As such, it is expected that there will be low-altitude flying, equipment drops from the back of aircraft and the parachuting of rescue personnel into designated areas.
Associated Links
"17 Wing is committed to providing Canadians with fast and effective search and rescue whenever they need it, wherever they need it. Exercises like CHINTHEX help to ensure that our personnel are ready for the many different situations that they are likely to come across in a real search and rescue situation." - Colonel Andrew Cook, 17 Wing Commanding Officer

Decided to try my Super Centurion Squat suit today. I wanted to determine if I will be lifting equipped or classic at the up coming meet.
Warm Up
Leg Swings and Stretching.
Squats - 20kg/6 reps, 20kg/6 reps, 65kg/6 reps, 65kg/4 dynamic reps, 105kg/4 reps, 105kg/3 dynamic reps.
At this point I am noticing I am focused more on the speed than form and technique. Time to slow down a bit and concentrate.
Squats - 145kg/1 rep, 185kg/1 rep (belt).
Power Phase
Squats - (suit bottoms and belt) 185kg/2 reps, 215kg/2 reps, (straps up and knee sleeves) 250kg/1 rep, 250kg/1 rep.
I video recorded all my lifts and found that I wasn't breaking parallel, even at 250kg. It's close but still not there. Instead of experimenting with the gear leading up to the meet I will lift classic. I will however bench press equipped if the Katana works well. Time will tell.
Pump Phase
Squats (nothing) - 7 sets/3 reps/105kg.
I didn't go crazy on the Pump Phase because my form felt really weird after squatting equipped. Some of the Pump Phase sets were for four reps. A good work out but now it's time to focus on the classic squats.

A One-Day Snapshot of Aboriginal Youth in Custody Across Canada
Chapter 7 - Saskatchewan (continued)
7.3 Demographic Information
In Saskatchewan , eight in ten Aboriginal youth (83%) in custody was male. Figure 7.2 and Table 7.1 (see end of chapter for all tables) describes the gender and age distribution of Aboriginal youth in custody on Snapshot day. The largest proportion of Aboriginal youth was between 16-17 years of age (55%), followed by those between 14-15 years of age (27%), 18 years of age and older (11%), and 12-13 years old (6%). The median age was 16.
No discernible difference emerged with respect to gender and age. Equal proportions of Aboriginal males and females were between 14-15 years of age (27% each) and 16-17 years of age (55% each).

weirdo! (Film: The Gift – Joel Edgerton, 2015)
Posted by Dan Romascanu under movies
No Comments
Joel Edgerton is not a completely anonymous actor, but not a big star either. We know his face from a few supporting roles in a number of movies, but none of them really made it to the Academy Awards. This makes even more remarkable the fact that with The Gift he is completely in control. The resulting movie is packaged as a psychological thriller set in that part of California populated with apparently happy couples or families enjoying the good life ensured by their success of their corporate careers. Yet, not everybody succeeded as well, and happy facades can hide unhappy relations and dark secrets surfacing from the past.
A game is played during all this film between the director-script author and the viewers. It starts like a yuppies-go-to-California film, and a seemingly incidental encounter between the successful Simon (played by Jason Bateman) and a former school colleague called Gordo (Edgerton) who does not seem to have done that well. A feeling of un-easiness starts to install in a very subtle manner. It's not only what happens on screen (although the visits and the small gifts and favors made to Simon and to his attractive but fragile wife Robyn (Rebecca Hall) start to look more and more like stalking, but also the simple dialogs of the couples seem to indicate that not all is pink and bright in paradise. As the story continues we start to discover more details about the past, the angle and judgment on the characters changes, and the feeling of uneasiness increases. To put it in one of the words used by Simon to describe his ex-colleague – weirdo!
(video source Movieclips Trailers)
Actors directors are said not to be too successful in directing themselves, but Joel Edgerton is the exception. He is actually the best designed character in a triangle in which all three actors play crisply defined characters, which succeed to be true even as the perspective and the judgment of the viewers about them changes. Hitchcock is the obvious source of inspiration for the movies in this genre, and if Rebecca Hall was a blonde she would have made a perfect Hitchcockian character (Edgerton cannot even avoid filming not one but two shower scenes).
There is not much violence on screen, certainly not on the scale of the 2015 violence in movies, but the feeling of terror is present almost all the time, and its remarkable that it results from psychology rather than from effects. The ending is somehow disappointing in its making, but it includes enough dose of macabre and weirdness and it's open enough to let us wonder what really happened. 'The Gift' is not easy or pleasant viewing, but it gives enough reasons of satisfaction to be worth spending the time with it.

So maybe you loved me and now maybe you don't, and maybe you'll call me, and maybe you won't.
I just got the voiceover I did back from MTV all spruced up with music and animations and they've made my voice even deeper (if thats possible). I sound transgender (no offence). And I don't like it.
So today I've been doing chores. I Cilit-Banged my bathroom and it was tough. Thanks alot BARRY (Scott).
I got an email from an old pal of mine and they had used a word I hate. TAD. Here is a list of my most hated words. Please don't ever email me using them.
If there are any words you hate please feel free to comment.
So I've finally got over my nobbish behaviour of the Wake on tuesday. Wake's are always dark drink-wise. Like I went to one when I was 21 cause my pal James Maynard had died. And I was so drunk my last memory was rolling around in the pub function room's garden with two greyhounds, feeling their noses to see if they were wet. When I discovered they were dry as a bone I launched myself on the unsuspecting revellers/mourners (cause lets face it, its mixed emotions at these things) in the function room demanding to know who the two dogs belonged to cause their noses were dry which meant they were ill. Leanne Diggins, crazy old psycho or animal do-gooder?
I'm currently listening to the show I presented on SW1 and I actually dedicate a song to dead Steve Irwin of Australia Zoo fame. I am so cool.
Tonight I was supposed to have a date but I've cancelled, I plan to do some more cillit banging instead. Tomorrow tiz Thames Clipper fun, Saturday partay, sunday drinks with a friend and Monday rolling around. OR maybe I'll go for a walk. Who knows.
Easter is well boring now ain't it. The only year I ever remember doing something was when I was a lovable rogue of around 14 and we went on an easter egg hunt. At this time I had a penchant for stealing mars bars from my local chemist. One day I stole a pair of sunglasses and felt really criminal-ly. I lost those glasses on the easter egg hunt. I knew that that was instant karma and never stole again. Except a protractor but I needed that for school so it don't count.
Much love to all of you. Even you.

People saying they are "on a journey" when they are not actually going anywhere.
I work in IT and I hear that kind of rubbish all the time. Last week I was told the purpose of a meeting I was attending was "just for some face time". What the hell is face time? Is that something they have in pornos?

PPS teachers win case load limits, retroactive raises in new contract
Portland Public Schools released details Monday evening of the contract that has made its teachers surprisingly happy. This follows a two-year negotiation that nearly failed at several points.
The district will give teachers future and retroactive raises, add two working days, give more paid planning time and maintain current benefits.
Teachers will receive a retroactive raise of 3 percent for the 2016-17 school year, 2.75 percent for the current school year and 2.25 percent for next school year. District officials say the back pay has already been added to the budget.
Teachers also won the right to negotiate on caseload limits, which is unique in the state. Current law exempts class sizes from union negotiations, though there is a bill working its way through the legislature to change that (see sidebar).
Superintendent Guadalupe Guerrero, in an interview with the Tribune, did not directly respond to a question of how he found the extra room in the budget for these features, but said that the process seemed to heal relationships.
"I'm really pleased that we were able, through a lot of good conversation and bargaining, to arrive at some important agreements," Guerrero said. "I'm very pleased about where we ended up, and less about the (contract) itself than the refreshing change in tone and a different kind of relationship in Portland. …As we know we have a few challenges right now, and we're never going to resolve those without working together."
PAT President Suzanne Cohen agreed that the process was refreshing, particularly that the new superintendent was willing to discuss language that she feels will put an end to the most outrageous class sizes.
"The fact that he was willing to have that conversation with us — that we've been trying to have for so long — is huge," Cohen said. "We were preparing for a strike, and enter Guadalupe who was willing to have this conversation with us."
Cohen said the teachers were willing to accept lower wages for the opportunity for more individualized instruction.
"They're not the highest in the region, and that's certainly a trade-off that our educators wanted in order to have meaningful class sizes," she said.
The contract calls for "overload" pay if the case loads are too high. For example, high school teachers with more than 160 total students will get 3 percent more money for every five students over the threshold. Similar triggers are in place for all of the grade levels, specialists, counselors and school psychologists.
The new language replaces a process by which teachers could complain about their workloads.
The Portland Association of Teachers ratified the contract "overwhelmingly," according to its president, who declined to release the official tally. The contract now goes to the school board for a vote Feb. 8.
The three-year contract is nearly two years overdue, so ordinarily the bargaining process would start up again next fall. But union and district leaders say they will explore the option of simply extending the contract another year when they meet in October.
More features of the PAT contract:
- 192-day work year, which adds one day of instructional time and one of professional development
- Retroactive 3 percent raise for the 2016-17 school year, 2.75 percent for 2017-18 and 2.25 percent for 2018-19
- More teacher planning time, including for Individual Education Programs (IEPs) and 15 minutes at the end of every school day
- "First in the state" thresholds for caseload limits, triggering "overload" pay
- New language around inclement weather days, including that it may count conferences and professional development time towards instructional time requirements
- Maintain School Climate Teams and adds new language around behavioral supports, including Crisis Response Teams.
- Requirements around rehiring of retirees
- Exclusive rights for union members, such as automatic payroll dues payments
Read the full 150-page contract.
Legislature may use Portland example to push for class size discussion statewide
House Bill 4113, filed before the Feb. 5 start of this year's legislative session, would make class size a mandatory subject of bargaining.
The idea has been tried before, but union members are feeling more confident about its passage this time around.
"We believe this is an incredibly important conversation that should happen across the state," said a statement from the Oregon Education Association attributed to its president John Larson.
The bill's chief sponsors are Rep. Brian Clem (D-Salem) and Rep. Margaret Doherty (D-Tigard). Portland Democratic Senator Michael Dembrow signed on to the bill and agreed to carry it in the senate.
In school districts, "employment relations" is currently defined under Oregon law as excluding class size and other employment conditions, such as the academic calendar, dress code and professional standards. It is largely limited to discussions of wages and hours.
The bill would simply delete the words "class size" from the exclusions section and add the sentence: "'Employment relations' includes class size."
UPDATE (2/6/18): This version added an accidentally omitted sidebar on House Bill 4113.

Top spots missed when healthcare workers use hand sanitizer
More than half of healthcare workers commonly miss parts of their hands when applying hand sanitizer, a new study has found.
Researchers investigated 705 clinicians working in their regular shifts who used an alcohol-based hand sanitizer mixed with a fluorescent marker. Workers' hands were then viewed under a UV lamp to show where the hand sanitizer had been rubbed.
Results found that thumbs were the spot most often missed by sanitizer, with only 37.45% of clinicians completely covering the area. Fingertips and the back of hands rounded out the top three "missed" areas, with just 44.54% and 46.38% of the study subjects completely covering the area, respectively.
Researchers found that the areas in between fingers were reached more regularly, with 74.75% of clinicians covering the area with sanitizer. Palms ranked highest in sanitizer coverage, with 98.87%.
Results of the study were published in American Journal of Infection Control.

I remember how we met; it was the most uncomfortable situation, I was lost in negative thoughts, I didn't even realise anyone was around me. As far as I was concerned, the world was sitting on my shouders and the ache was not something I wanted to bear then you gave me a pat on my shoulder and said: "hang in there…"
I would walk aimlessly along the road; drunk with the feeling of regret, life had a way of making me forget that everything that happened was for a reason. What reason exactly?! I never understood anything I just knew nothing came out right but you'd show up from nowhere and say: "hang in there…"
All those times we were down at the same time, almost like we were in a tunnel; so dark and cold with no thoughts of hope and fear made me almost want to give up but you managed to see a little light ahead and you turned to me and said: "hang in there…"
I remember seeing you cry for the first time; I was so scared, I was not sure of what to do at the moment, I was so hurt and did not even notice my own tears but you cleaned them and with a cheerful smile you said: "hang in there…"
There are times I feel a bit at peace with myself even with the troubles that surround me; not because I have the right distractions, not that I know how to solve them or anything but I'm certain that if you are here, all you'd want me to do is: "hang in there…"

When an IT emergency strikes medical practices, there's a small window to avoid big losses of time and money, so it's best to have a plan in place.
But for many small practices, there's the added wrinkle of getting in touch with their IT professional in the first place. According to the Medical Economics 2017 EHR Report, 35% of respondents indicated they outsource their IT services. Of that group, 47% of both solo practices as well as those with two to five physicians said they rely on someone not on staff to deal with technology issues. And 31% of solo practices said they have no designated IT department or employee at all.
Joe Capko, senior consultant and partner of San Francisco-based consulting firm Capko & Morgan, says there are steps smaller practices—and even their larger counterparts—can take to be proactive to ensure when the time comes, they are prepared.

The 1993 Tax Convention ('the Old Convention') between the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg ('Luxembourg') and the Republic of Singapore ('Singapore'), has been replaced by a new Tax Convention dated 9 October 2013 ('the New Convention'), which entered into force on ... and will have effect from ...
The key points of the New Convention are summarized below:
The Protocol to the New Convention provides that a collective investment vehicle is a resident if it is liable to tax under its domestic laws by reason of its domicile, residence, place of management or any other criterion of a similar nature, even where an exemption applies subject to requirements specified in its domestic tax laws. This provision should be beneficial for the Luxembourg investment fund industry, in particular for SICAVs/SICAFs that should thus benefit from the reduced rates under the New Convention.
The New Convention has been modified in order to attribute an exclusive taxation right to the residence state of the recipient of dividends. The right to levy taxation at source is no longer provided (versus 5 or 10% withholding tax in the Old Convention).
Singapore does not levy withholding taxes on dividends under Singaporean domestic tax law; as such, the New Convention does not change the taxation applicable to dividend payments from a Singapore subsidiary to its Luxembourg shareholder. Luxembourg exempts such dividends either under the conditions of its domestic participation exemption or under the New Convention.
For a Luxembourg subsidiary paying dividends to its Singapore parent, the reduced rate under the New Convention is beneficial since withholding tax rates on dividends paid to its Singapore parent can always be reduced to 0%, even if the conditions for the Luxembourg participation exemption regime (as provided under Article 147 of Luxembourg Income Tax Law - "LITL") are not met. The dividend received by its Singapore parent should typically be tax exempt under the qualifying conditions under its domestic tax laws
The New Convention provides for an exclusive taxation right in the residence state of the recipient of interest, that is, the right to levy withholding tax at 10% has been abolished.
The benefits of the New Convention for interest payments made by Luxembourg companies to Singapore creditors are limited since interest payments are generally not subject to withholding tax in Luxembourg.
The domestic withholding tax rate applied by Singapore on interest payment to non-residents is 15%. The reduced withholding tax rate of 0% applicable to payments made by Singapore debtors to Luxembourg creditors should positively impact the development of financing structures involving Luxembourg finance companies.
The New Convention provides for a withholding tax rate on royalties reduced from 10% to 7%.
For royalties paid by a Luxembourg entity to a Singaporean entity, the reduced withholding tax rate provided for in the New Convention has no impact since, based on the domestic tax law, there is no withholding tax on royalties.
Conversely, for Singaporean companies paying royalties to Luxembourg residents, the newly reduced rate is advantageous when compared to the domestic withholding tax rate of 10%. Further, Luxembourg exempts income from royalties as well as from the sale of intellectual property rights at 80%, which, together with the legal protection of the intellectual property under various international conventions available to Luxembourg companies, is an opportunity that might be considered.
Capital gains
Article 13 of the New Convention is broadly in line with the OECD Model Convention, whereby:
Consequently, gains realized by a Luxembourg shareholder from the disposal of shares in a Singapore subsidiary should be tax exempt in Singapore based on the New Convention, and tax exempt in Luxembourg under the participation exemption regime. As such, whether a divestment gain qualifies as capital or revenue in nature under Singapore law is irrelevant. Importantly, this also applies if the Singapore subsidiary is land rich.
Gains realized by a Singapore shareholder in a Luxembourg subsidiary should be tax exempt in Luxembourg according to the New Convention, and should also not be subject to tax in Singapore provided the gain is capital in nature. Where the gain is revenue in nature, it would be subject to tax if it is sourced in Singapore. However, gains derived from ordinary equity investments disposed of in a company during the period from 1 June 2012 to 31 May 2017 may not be taxed in Singapore provided certain conditions are met.
Limitation of relief
The New Convention abolished this clause. Also, it has been clarified that, unless they are not at arms' length, interest, royalties and other disbursements should be tax deductible at the level of the payor.
Exchange of information
The provisions on exchange of information have been aligned to the 2005 OECD Model Convention.
Entry into force
The New Convention will enter into force on … and have effect from ….. One favorable provision of the Old Convention benefits from a grandfathering of 5 years: a deemed tax credit for withholding tax remains available in Luxembourg for withholding tax on dividends, interest and royalties which would have been payable if not for the tax exemption granted under the tax laws of Singapore. This is particularly relevant to interest and royalties derived by a Luxembourg resident company from Singapore, where Singapore has granted withholding tax exemption on such income which is made for the promotion of economic development in Singapore.
This New Convention is a significant step in further deepening business relationships between Singapore and Luxembourg, and the 5-year grandfathering clause for deemed tax credit allows companies sufficient time to adapt to the New Convention. Whilst Luxembourg is typically a hub for investors into Europe, Singapore is a typical hub for investors into Asia. Thus, aligning those two hubs should make cross border investments to corporates operating globally less burdensome.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - April 5, 2017) -
Rise Gold Corp. (CSE:UPP)(CSE:UPP.CN)(OTC PINK:RYES) ("Rise" or the "Company") announces the results from its study of metallurgical recoveries from the past producing Idaho-Maryland Gold Mine (the "I-M Mine").
The Company estimates the I-M Mine has produced 2,414,000 oz of gold at an estimated average mill head grade of 0.50 oz/ton (17.1gpt). Our previous news release dated April 4th, 2017 provides the details of past production at the I-M Mine.
The Company has been compiling and processing the extensive collection of historical data from the I-M Mine since the completion of the acquisition announced on January 25th, 2017. The Company has completed a study of the reported metallurgical gold recovery during a period of continuous production from 1936-1941.
The Company possesses the original records of the detailed monthly reports for the mineral processing at the I-M Mine from the period of 1936-1941. The Company believes it possesses the complete records of the mine during this period. The I-M Mine's historical financial statements, which recorded the results from bullion sales, appear to reconcile with the historical production and the reported metallurgical recovery rates included in the historical data that the Company has reviewed.
Total gold recovery from the processing of 2,011,000 tons of mineralized material from 1936-1941 is estimated at 96.3%, of which 67.5% is estimated to have been recovered by gravity methods.
Process Plant
In the period from 1936-1941, the I-M Mine was in full production and processed through two identical process plants located at the two mining operations within the I-M Mine Property, the Brunswick Mine and the Idaho Mine.
The Idaho mineralization had higher gravity gold recovery of 76% versus Brunswick at 64%. The average flotation concentrate grade for Idaho Mine and Brunswick Mine was 3.6 oz/ton and 4.2oz/ton, respectively.
Gold recovery details for the I-M Mine are displayed in Table 1.
Table 1 - Gold Recovery from 1936-1941**
The process plant at the I-M Mine used the following generalized flowsheet during this period:
The Company is currently finalizing its work on the geological model and exploration targets at the I-M Mine and expects to provide further information and updates to its shareholders over the coming weeks.
Benjamin Mossman, P.Eng is the qualified person who has verified the historical metallurgical data disclosed in this news release.
Detailed production, processing, and metallurgical data available from the internal records of the Idaho Maryland Mine are available for the period from 1936-1941. Internal mill reports were completed by the operator on a daily, monthly and yearly basis. Metallurgical data was reconciled by the operator to bullion sales. The metallurgical data from the internal documents was transcribed from the monthly reports and reconciled to the annual reports. In general, the Idaho Maryland Mines Co. appears to have been a well-run company with excellent record keeping. It is believed the entire record of mill reports is contained in the library of documents.

The folks at FEMA don't want you to see pictures, video, or artists renditions of Hurricane Katrina's victims as they are recovered from New Orleans.
Forced to defend what some critics consider its slow response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, the Federal Emergency Management Agency said on Tuesday it does not want the news media to take photographs of the dead as they are recovered from New Orleans.
FEMA, which is leading the rescue efforts, rejected requests from journalists to accompany rescue boats as they went out to search for storm victims, Reuters reported.
A FEMA spokeswoman told the wire service that space was need on the rescue boats and assured Reuters that "the recovery of the victims is being treated with dignity and the utmost respect."
"We have requested that no photographs of the deceased be made by the media," the spokeswoman told Reuters via e-mail.
I was against the censorship of "sensitive" photos from 9/11 because I think they serve as a reminder for all Americans to never forget that day and to guard against similar events from happening again. But when it comes to natural disasters, or plane crashes, or the local newspaper publishing a photo of the house fire victim, I don't think a public viewing is necessary. It's voyeurism, and right now, looking at bodies that have been soaking in water and baking in 100 degree heat isn't a "have to" in my book.
Years from now someone can publish a big coffee table book with glossy photos, a historical timeline, and a bunch of satellite maps (ala LIFE Magazine). For now though, stuff the death pictures in a drawer.

The partner day or Valentine Day is approaching day by day and all have been waiting for this day from last one year. All try to make the Valentine day special for themselves. People sing the best songs of their lives and dance with their partners on this day in order to attract them. I am going to ease this process by sharing a video of Heineken with you all. The video from Heineken is in the ongoing campaign 'Open Your World' of Serenade.
The video is one of the Facebook applications. The app is of Valentine-day and it became live on February 1.
To go to the app, the easiest way is by clicking on the video. You can click anywhere on the video and then you will be taken straight to the app's homepage. After that, you can see four fields there for which you need to provide data.
• Who – This is your beloved person with whom you wish to go on the date.
• Why – The reason that why the date is so much essential and why you want to go on the date with the person that you mentioned in the above field.
• What – This is the actual process that you are going to follow with your partner on the day.
• Why Me – You should tell your partner that why he/she should be with you on Valentine day and be your valentine.
When you are done with completing and entering the required data, just wait for the confirmation. This is mandatory for both the partners. They have to send and open their own Serenades.
The Heineken live will take place in London, United Kingdom at the local timings of 6 pm to 3am. This is a global event and will run for continuous 8-9 hours. If you are unable to attend the show, you can watch it live on the official youtube channel of Heineken.
So, #Serenade Your Date with Heineken.

October Birchbox
Hi Loves!!
So I received my October Birchbox a few days ago. This is my first Birchbox so I was quite excited to receive it. However, I was surprised at how small it was. It's hard to tell in the picture but I thought it was going to be bigger than it was.
The first item I got is a Luna Protein bar in Chocolate Peanut Butter. I haven't got to try it yet but it sounds delish!
The second item I got is a Jouer Lip Enhancer. It is a conditioning lip treatment. I just put some on my lips for the first time and it is actually quite soothing. Especially since my lips are still recovering from the reaction they had from e.l.f. lip gloss :( Sorry about the blurry picture. Something about the color of the writing and the bottle that it kept coming out blurry in each photo.
The next item I got is from TheBalm. It is the Mary-Lou Manizer. It can be used as a highlighter or an eyeshadow. I was excited to see this as I am starting to fall in love with many of the products by TheBalm.
The next product I got is from Vitivia. It is a Pure Antioxidant Therapy that is used on the face. I got two different capsules in the sample. The orange colored capsules are pure Vitamin A. It is supposed to be applied on the face at night and is used to refine pores, smoothing fine lines, and reducing skin inflammation. The brown capsules are pure Vitamin C and are used to reduce hyperpigmentation, fight wrinkles, and age spots. I am definitely excited to give these a go! They sound interesting.
The last item I received is a sample bottle of Juicy's Viva La Juicy La Fleur. Viva La Juicy is one of my favorite fragrances so I was excited to see this as well. It smells just as good as Viva La Juicy but more flowery. Hence the name "La Fleur" lol.
Anyways, so there you have it. That is my October Birchbox. I am not sure if it is worth $10. I guess it's pretty good. Definitely not as good as my Ipsy Bag that I received. I actually got full size products in that and it is the same price. Hopefully the next box will be awesome or I will be real quick to cancel my subscription if I'm not impressed! LOL
If you want to learn more about Birchbox, you can check them out here. The monthly subscription is $10 plus free shipping.
Do you subscribe to Birchbox? What do you think of the products?

I have spent the last couple of weeks trying to get Jack to open his mouth so we can take a photo of his teeth. A failed exercise.
Yesterday I spend ages trying to get a nice photo of Jack in his Santa suit so I can make it into a Christmas card.
Guess what he did in almost every photo!
But what a cracking shot of his two little toothy-pegs!
And the back of his throat, up his nose....

Although I am usually not inclined to posit speculations on why a particular drug does or doesn't do something, in this case I will. Im guessing that the higher doses of Anadrol cause enough appetite suppression (at least anecdotally) to make eating rather difficult. It can also increase insulin resistance and glucose intolerance (5). This has the effect of making macronutrient absorption more inefficient, and could also be a factor in reducing gains when the dosage goes over 100mgs/day. Unfortunately, Anadrol also has a reasonably profound effect on your body's natural hormonal system, on par with most other oral steroids , but not as bad as most injectables, and its certainly not as harsh on your lipid profile as many anabolics are

Passamaquoddy - Maine
The Passamaquoddy of Maine were once part of the Abenaki Confederacy, an alliance of Algonquin-speaking Tribes in the northeastern part of what is now the United States and the nearby regions of Canada (ENAT, 178). Abenaki means "the people who dwell at the sunrise" or "people of the dawn". Passamaquoddy means "those who pursue the pollock", an important Atlantic food fish. The Confederacy has been reawakened since the relighting of its fires in Restigouche, Quebec, home of the Micmac people (Margaret Dana, letter dated May 15, 1997). The members of the Confederacy are the Abenaki, Micmac, Passamaquoddy, and Penobscot Nations.
© Donald Healy 2008
The current flag of the Passamaquoddy people was adopted - on a 90-day trial basis - in June, 1995 (Passamaquoddy Tribal Council resolution, June 8, 1995). Because that trial period was never followed by other tribal legislation, the flag is considered official.
That new design (called the "scroll") is a white flag bearing the new seal of the Passamaquoddy Nation. Around a central red circle, doubly edged in black, are four groups of five stick figures in black, holding hands. Between these figures are the letters N, W, and S, in black, representing compass points, and a black star edged in white and black, representing the eastern location of Passamaquoddy lands. These denote the unity of the Passamaquoddy "with all Native Americans from the North, South, East, and West" (Interpretation of the Pleasant Point Passamaquoddy's Tribal Logo, unsigned, undated letter, Pleasant Point Reservation, ME).
The red "Circle of Life" recalls the "Red Race" (ibid..). Within it are four plants depicted in yellows and greens, representing the eastern woodlands. Black dots form an inner ring with the plants. Curving above the dots is "PASSAMAQUODDY TRIBE" and "PEOPLE OF THE DAWN" below, all in black. Centered on the circle is a scroll and a "dripping feather" representing the 1980 settlement of land claims with the federal government. The scroll depicts a sunrise over the land at Passamaquoddy Bay and the sun's reflection on its waters, in natural colors. These images affirm the aboriginal rights of the people and a recognition that this bounty was given the Passamaquoddy by the Great Spirit.
A previous, unofficial flag predated the settlement of land claims with the federal government. This dark blue flag had many elements carried over to the current flag, including a large central yellow disk signifying the sun, the compass points and star, and the same words. Its central image, however, was a white pollock skewered by a pair of upward-pointing fishing spears, usually in black and forming a rough "X".
The Passamaquoddy delegate to the Maine legislature uses special automobile license plates bearing the tribal seal. The flag of the Passamaquoddy also flies at sea. Fishing boats belonging to members of the Tribe frequently wear the tribal flag when plying the waters off Maine, in the sole known use of a tribal banner as a maritime ensign.

UK Outlook for Friday 31 Aug 2018 to Friday 14 Sep 2018:

More changeable conditions with outbreaks of rain and strong winds are likely across the north and northwest, perhaps extending southeastwards at times. Into September, confidence in the forecast decreases. However, we will probably see longer dry and settled spells at times, these perhaps becoming more dominant than previously in the north and northwest. Temperatures by day are likely to be generally warmer than average, but there will an increasing chance of chillier nights.
